Strategic Plan Framework 2025-2030
SVSU’s Strategic Plan Framework 2025-2030 provides a clear framework to strengthen the university’s impact and support student success. Guided by our mission to transform lives through engaged education and experiences, the plan is built around six strategic priorities: 1: Academic Excellence and The Student Experience, 2: Campus Climate and Cultural Excellence, 3: Holistic Enrollment Growth, 4: Elevate Market Position, Priority 5: Safety and Operational Excellence, 6: Community Partnerships and Engagement. These priorities work together to create an exceptional student experience — supporting academic achievement, fostering a sense of belonging, and providing opportunities that help students stand out in their careers and communities.
